7. Elton Brand (1999)

Elton Brand, a Duke product of the 1990s, was taken No. 1 overall by the Chicago Bulls in 1999.

Brand had two successful seasons in Chicago averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds per game before being traded to the Clippers for the rights to Tyson Chandler.

For the last four seasons, Brand has been a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. His numbers have dipped since his glory days of Chicago and L.A., but he still helped the Sixers reach the playoffs for the second straight season.

Brand is scheduled to make over $18 million next season for Philadelphia, making him one of the highest-paid players in the league.

Though his numbers aren't as high as they used to be, Brand can still play great basketball.
